    Previous generations, have been summarized by us - we *also* will be summarized, by generations that come after us! (looking?)

    Hi there, So Solomon says at length "as it was, so shall it be" (in Ecclesiastes) and Christ Himself says "this generation shall not pass away, until all these things are fulfilled" (gospels, from memory) - what is it, that happens from generation to generation, if we both come to be and...

    Behold the man

    Isaiah 53:5-8 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity...

    Defeating The Spirit Of Intimidation

    Bullying, such a disgusting word. Even worse such a sickening action. I speak from experience. I've been bullied almost my whole life. From relatives, classmates, to even my neighbors. You would think the bully would grow up after high school but no, a lot of them are overgrown children in...

    Don't punish the Devil, until he knows what he's done wrong, who he's done wrong to and where those following him are going to end up wrong (patient?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple lesson to learn, here: don't just punish the Devil. When Satan entered Judas, Jesus didn't say "now I condemn you!" - He said "What you do, do quickly" (gospels, from memory). This implies that the Devil can only do so much and that if we contradict him, the...

    I got it! The Cross of Jesus is where He developed a "contempt for future sin" - His contempt kept in check, *saves* us from not resisting sin enough!

    Hi there, So there is a way to interpret what happened on the Cross, directly: Jesus asked "why Your Abandonment?" and was provoked to fill with contempt; when reflecting on what He had contempt for, He chose sin; choosing sin, the Lord projected contempt for sin in future. That is what...

    God doesn't just want child-like faith, God doesn't just want mature faith - God wants both! (understanding?)

    Hi there, So there are two verses where Jesus talks about the faith necessary to enter Heaven. The first is "unless you have faith as a little child, you shall by no means enter Heaven". Now you might be thinking 'how on Earth, can I be child-like in my faith?', and you would be right, in the...

    Prayer that the youth come under authority; prayer that leadership share spirit with the Heart of God (pray)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to bring to your attention two things, that I think are important to the health and wellbeing of the nations: the youth and the leadership. The youth of today have a lot of challenges: there is a poor culture around porn, there is very little elder input into their...

    Not requiring confession and just offering luck as an alternative, men of the world will just choose 'luck' and not confess. Meaning?

    Hi there, So this is a thorny problem for me. I have known for some time that Ray Comfort preaches that the sinner needs to be convicted of the Law, before they are offered Salvation. That approach seemed fine to me, for some time, but I never really felt great about approaching people about...

    Made in the image of God; but made *for* the image of Christ. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is just a simple distinction. On the one hand we are created by God. That is true. Indeed we are made in the image of God. Also true. But once created, there is a greater difference to look forward to: being made for the image of Christ. What does that mean? It means that our...

    Pray for those facing the guillotine (in Israel), assuredly you will have your reward.

    Hi there, So this is just being mindful of the End. The body of Christ in Israel, needs your prayer: the guillotine is coming (still decades away now, but it will come quick) and the peace that surpasses all understanding should be everyone's. We need to pray that peace will come, at the...

    Galatians 4:21-31;5:1-26 - Hagar and Sarah - Freedom in Christ

    Hagar and Sarah 21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free...

    I never understood the phrase "Jesus is God", until now: "Jesus is God Crucified". Praise the Holy Spirit!

    Hi there, So I have never really understood the phrase "Jesus is God"; I knew for example that Jesus humbled Himself, even when He could have claimed He was God - but I thought to myself "If He doesn't want to be known, as God, how can He be God?" You can see that I would be in a fix, if I...

    Scriptures pertaining to Christ's grace.

    Perhaps you will find something encouraging here. Luke 2:40 New King James Version 40 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. John 1:17 New King James Version 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came...

    Judgmental

    Would you say of yourself that you are judgmental ? Can this be corrected in us ? Yes, however, it MUST always be by the Word, and by our yielding OUR will to GOD'S will thru the Spirit ! Do NOT be bent by another man's will, especially those that walk contrary to God and his word...
